Very clean, spacious room with helpful friendly staff and great breakfast.

Vanessa Australia

Great value! Room was compact, cute and clean. Staff were friendly. 3 pillows was awesome. Would definitely stay again!

Alice New Zealand

Location was perfect, staff were 90% friendly but 100% helpful. I left some items behind which cleaning staff handed in and front desk happily returned charging me only for the postage fee.

Alice New Zealand

Overall it was a good experience and my first time staying in an eco hotel. It is a small space, but ideal for one person if it's just an overnight to sleep, one doesn't need more.

Yazbek New Zealand

I really liked the location, so close to where I like to shop, around the corner from the movies. I have stayed at the Quest and Novotel which a bit further to walk. The room was small but it had everything I needed and it was very comfortable. The cafe below looked great but I didn't have time to eat there. This is my new place to stay when I come to Christchurch.

Lee New Zealand

the room was super clean and well laid out. It was small but made use of the space well.

Jon New Zealand

easy to find and close to everything we needed to be at

Manamana New Zealand

Really good value in the centre of Christchurch. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Have stayed there before and is excellent every time.

Alan New Zealand

Compact room with everything you needed. I especially liked the shower/toilet unit, it was unique. The water pressure was perfect in the shower

Tonya New Zealand

Front desk and the girl making the coffees every morning were amazing. Have been here three times so far and have never been disappointed!
